The first grader, for example, is at a particular point in his evolution as a human being. What is brought to him as musical experience must be appropriate to his stage of development. The young child does not experience music as an adult does. He is still living musically in a world of sound, tone, and rhythm that is, as yet, unformed and undifferentiated. The teacher must bring something appropriate to the child and bring it with reverence, imagination, and enthusiasm. The aim is not simply to teach children to sing and to play music, but to awaken qualities of soul.
